#Badasslands

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2017 00:39:46 +0000

Many people saw the #badasslands hashtag pop up in their social media newsfeed last week but even though the #badlands have legions of new admirers, quite a few of them still have no idea where they actually are. The hashtag may have started over the climate change controversy but hopefully it will encourage millions of people to make the trek out to soak in the extreme and magical natural wonder that is Badlands National Park. A long time favorite place for musicians, writers, and artists to explore mind altering experiences and connect with the natural world given its topography and location, miles away from light pollution. Visitor experience can be so out of this world that the Badlands often play other planets on TV, most famously portraying the bug planet in the 90’s cult classic “Starship Troopers”. Located only 30 miles from my husband’s family ranch Badlands National Park and the surrounding Buffalo Gap Grasslands have become a favorite place to visit on trips home to see the family and always a highlight for our visitors and guests. You probably have seen the photos of Badlands National Park but no matter how high the resolution no camera can fully capture the magic energy of […]

How to dress when it’s COLD AF

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:00:55 +0000

After some unusually favorable December days here in DC (which I am not complaining about) January has come to show it’s frigid face. I was hoping that mother nature would be kind and let us get away with a mild winter with more intermittent 70 degree days but it seems that my wish will not be granted, not this year at least. While I grew up in Northern Virginia experiencing all four seasons, I’m still not a huge fan of the cold temperatures my home state brings each winter. I would much prefer to get dressed for a scorching hot 90 degree day than I do when its freezing out. In the winter, I usually gravitate towards wearing whatever will keep me comfortable and warm. Sometimes that means I wear my sweats all day long (don’t judge) and on days when I need to leave the house; it’s jeans, a comfy sweater and a big jacket to throw over top. I’m a sucker for outfits that take hardly any thought in the winter because who has time to try on 6 outfits that are perfectly layered and planned out anyway? Not me, I’m lucky if I have two matching socks on! Without […]
